deanie-b Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hi guys, you may have seen my recent-ish topic on my new camcorder.When blown up to full screen, the quality tends to become a bit iffy, Although when played on a 32 inch TV the quality is fine I heard some stuff about a firewire controller thingy??Could someone please explain what they are, and if they will help me out in getting a better resolution Cheers!

Janson Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 firewire is the type of connection between camera and computer, kind of. instead of USB basically.video generally looks better on a TV than a high res computer screen.

deanie-b Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) Ok, Is there any advantage to using it? Edited January 20, 2006 by deanie-b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerdude2006fr Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I am pretty sure that the advantage of using firewire is that its a quicker transfer than usb but dont hold me to that because i am not 100% sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 FW is not quicker, you can only capture video from DV tape cameras in real time.though it allows a larger amount of data to be transferred in the same time = better quality.
